To assure the quality of software processes, models play an important
role. Process models represent the officially sanctioned software development
processes in the organization. Although important, they are not sufficient,
since the practices of software developers often differ considerably from the official
process. Practice models, describing the way software development is
really done, are an important source of information for validating the software
process. Using conceptual graph theory, we present a formal method for representing
and comparing process and practice models in various combinations.
The method allows for differences between these models to be easily detected.
Software developers, such as managers or engineers, can then interpret these
differences to make recommendations for software process improvement.
